This is a puzzling question, since the cement plants I've been familiar with have the limestone input right there. This is borne out by a google search: the opinion seems to be that since the limestone raw material gets burned up a lot in processing, you don't want to spend a lot of money hauling it in. So normally there would be the limestone quarry handy, with other materials, like iron and coal, hauled in by rail. I'd certainly be asking that and other questions about this particular plant.
